Le franc tireur,
l'architecte, le consul et
l'arménien
A performance / presentation by
Gregory Buchakjian based on an
academic project accomplished
within Atelier de Recherche ALBA
during years 1999-2004.
This work was presented during a
seminar organized by Patrick
Barberis, film director.
The research was based on archive
documents with the assistance of
the US State Department, Office of
the Historian.

The
architect proposed a
new World War to
destroy the city
tabula rasa to rebuilt
it more beautifully.
The consul was
murdered because of a
missent letter. The
Armenian accepted his
death condemnation and
was hanged. The franc
tireur didn't actually
take part in this
story.
